‘The Walking Dead’ Cast and Crew Pay Tribute to Scott Wilson
The Walking Dead has always been a family. Whether it’s the cast and crew’s close relationship with each other, their relationships with the fans, or the camaraderie among the fandom itself, there is a special bond between everyone this show has impacted. That’s why the loss of Scott Wilson, who played Hershel Greene on the series, completely shattered everyone’s hearts. He was a kind, gentle, humble and incredible man to everyone he encountered and a bright light in such a dark series. While his death is absolutely devastating to his fans, the cast and crew of The Walking Dead are grieving the loss of a colleague and dear friend. Many of them have taken to social media to remember the amazing human being that Wilson was and as heartbreaking as a lot of them are, the tributes are beautiful, truly touching and prove just how special the bond of The Walking Dead is.

I was fortunate enough to meet Scott Wilson at a convention in 2017. I only spoke to him briefly but he was so kind in those moments. Brilliant actor and person. Rest easy 🙏🏽 #TWDFamily

Scott Wilson will appear in an upcoming episode of The Walking Dead, so fans will have one more opportunity to see him in character as Hershel Greene.
Having studied Media & Writing at James Madison University, I always knew that I wanted to do some type of creative writing, but being able to write about zombies, Starks, and superheroes on a daily basis for Fan Fest is my actual dream. While I probably shouldn’t be as proud as I am to be so similar to Nick Miller, I do hope to one day write my own “Pepperwood Chronicles’.
